Copied games going Bad

[Warlock]

The problem is your laser is getting weaker and weaker from trying to read the crap media. If you keep using them soon it wont read at all. This is the reason we advise people to use verbatim cd-r and Ritek/ taiyo yuden dvd-r. Just because the backup works doesnt mean its ok for the laser.

thanks i will change my media to the suggested ones ..is it a good idea to run the originals through DVD Decrypter first .. or is making a straight copy ok?? thanks

Just make a direct backup. I have never seen a dvd PS2 game that required decrypting. People use dvd decrypter because its a excellent backup software and best of all its free

just to add if you are going to use verbatim's make sure they are the datalifeplus , not the datalife as the datalife have not been to good as of lately

Just use Verbatim, Ritek G04 taiyo yuden .. with DVD - Decrypter (iso. file) .... Your Laser will thank you
